Mathieu Lirzin commented on OFBIZ-10866:
----------------------------------------
Hello Taher,
The behaviour of rule-tasks has been relaxed to depend on the {{:jar}} task
instead of the {{:build}} task to not trigger the compilation of the
distribution archives. The side effect of this change is that unit tests are
not triggered by those rule-tasks anymore which is matching the behavior of the
{{:run}} task.
> Use the ‘application’ and ‘distribution’ plugins

>
> Gradle provides some useful standard plugins for launching and packaging
> applications via the the {{application}} and {{distribution}} plugins.
> * The [{{application}}
> plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/application_plugin.html]
> provides a {{run}} task which is an alternative to the rule based generated
> run tasks. Arbitrary command line arguments can be passed to OFBiz via the
> {{--args}} option.
> * The [{{distribution}}
> plugin|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/distribution_plugin.html] is
> complementing the {{application}} plugin by providing a straightforward and
> easy way to distribute OFBiz with its dependencies which is convenient in a
> deployment context. After extracting the distribution archive, OFBiz can
> then be launched via a robust shell or batch script.
> The default targets must be been refined to not build the distribution
> archives which can be a bit long in the context of OFBiz where we have a lot
> of dependencies.
